I just purchased a used Samsung Transform and I don't think its been rooted before but there is an app on the phone called SuperUser that I can't delete off my phone for anything and when I connect my phone to my computer it isn't even recognized as being connected. Please help me remove this file...I need the FOR DUMMIES instructions!!!

That app in itself means it's rooted.. Or at least attempted to be rooted.. Google search return samsung transform to stock there's a guide on sdx..

If the previous owner used an app to root (like z4root or universal androot) then you can unroot by using the same kind of app... if it has been manually rooted via adb (commands via pc/windows) then its a little more complicated! Your phone should show up on your pc regardless, it will only be recognised as external harddrive unless you install the official samsung software recommended for your handset which will also install all the necessary drivers and allow you to interact with your phone easier.
Root access can be useful, make sure to have a quick look around to make sure you want to loose it
Hi Everyone, I am new to the Android seen, I just switched from a Blackberry to the Galaxy S 4G. I am trying to load 64 bit drivers, and as you can imagin I am not having too much luck. when I try to load them I get a error. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
1: the errors i get is that it can't find drivers for-
PCI Simple comunications controller, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller.
2: the other problem I am having is simple understanding. How do you turn USB debugging mode on and off?
3:I downloaded supperoneclick and when it loads and I hit Root, It just hangs on (waiting for device) Probably because the USB drivers aren't loading correctly.
And yes I am a N00b, so please don't be to hard on me
Thanks For any help you can offer me. Tim.
Try downloading the 32bit. I had the same problem when I did it with the 64bit. To get debugging turned on go to the phone setting, applications, development it should be in there.

Ok I did what you said and I still have the PCI controller and USB controller fualts, but it loaded other drivers also which got it to work. I was able to root it with superoneclick, and I am somewhat happy now.
what does Rooting the phone do to it? what are the advantages?
now can I view, load and unload apps using my computer, and how would I do that?
Also can I view, load and unload music, video and other files using the computer aswell? and again how would I do that? Or if you could point me to a thread that explains all this that would be great aswell.
Thanks, Tim.

The advantages of root are many. Mainly, you now have "superuser" privileges and access to all files and folders on your phone. This will allow you add or delete what you like and make many beneficial changes.
Just read these forums carefully and keep asking questions so you don't mess anything up. Have fun modding!

This worked for me, I'm rooted
see if you can help me,for some time now no device recognize my tablet, did not give much importance and all that happened I do sd taking the tablet and connecting it to my s3 this if I catch him, but clearly not as comfortable.
I thought it would be a thing of windows 8, but I've tried on other computers with xp, win7 and nothing.
I do not remember if it stopped working when I put cyanogenmod10. I love cyanogen by fluent but I downloaded the latest official samsung already incorporates the attractively landscaped MULTI I find on a tablet.
I installed and uninstalled samsung kies but nothing.
and clear to not hold my tablet I can not flash by odin.
I'll see if I find any official version as I downloaded but it is for recovery mode.
the model is the tab2 10.1 gt p5100
Thank´s in advance
Have you installed the drivers properly for your tablet? It took me sometime to get my tab to register on the computer too.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
If it was when you went to Cyanogen Mod then something you could check (haven't heard of it on these tablets, but it is a known issue on another device I own) is go into the settings menu, scroll down to "Storage" and click into it, now find the menu button (not sure where it is on these) and tap it, it should not give you an option for "USB computer connection", tap that and make sure its on MTP or Mass Storage (if that is an option, depends on device and ROM), on the unofficial CM builds for my other android device you can't connect it to the computer after flashing the ROM till you go in and pick a setting there.

Kies drivers have NOTHING to do with being able to connect it to the computer to transfer files, also there is absolutely no reason to ever install Kies as you can get the Samsung drivers easily enough and that is a much smaller download. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956

That too. But it is easier to let Kies install it for you.
I was baffled by a similar experience.
The answer for me was to go to your settings in your device > storage settings > choose either MTP or Camera (check / tick a box)
Then the mac or pc should connect or recognise your device as long as you have the latest version of kies correctly installed.
:good:
install the drivers properly
or use another usb wire
I need help figuring out how to root a RCA RCT6077W22 tablet. It has Android Jellybean 4.1.1- v1.0.1, 8GB built in storage, 1GHZ processor, Google apps installed, kernel is [email protected]#132.I'd like to try to root it from the tablet itself if not I'm familiar with SuperOneClick as I've used it for my Samsung Galaxy S 4G before I should it. If it comes to that option I need to be able to use a rooting program on my computer that does not require internet the only internet I am able to use is the libraries. I have a laptop but no charger so my laptop is dead. I'm not a noon when it comes to rooting as I've mentioned I've done it before. Just need help finding a root for this tablet. I appreciate any help I get and thank you. If you need more info feel free to ask. I've also looked at the topic about the 4GB but its not that helpful is why I created my own topic.

I have the rct6378w2 RCA 7' 8GB tablet (4.2.2 JB). (Black Friday 2013 Walmart for $49)
I was able to root it by first installing the pdanet drivers (for adb access). And then using the kingo app, which you can get from http://www.kingoapp.com/.
Its free but closed source. I found it via this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MiZtZCqu4k
Worked even with the 1.0.2 update installed (which I have no clue what it did (17MB).

I cannot get pdanet to get the drivers. I cant find any drivers anywhere. Pdanet says to click ok after connecting, and it just says no android device found..I think there's an error box too.. I don't know how to fix it. I also have the tablet from the black friday event. Exact same one. Also, I have USB debugging on...
UPDATE: I found out the problem! The support files weren't in the root file I had the .exe in. I just moved the .exe to the same folder with the support files, and now I'm rooted and ready! Thanks!

how are you turning on usb debugging? I also have this tablet(purchased on black Friday from Walmart like everyone else) and mine doesn't seem to have that option anywhere. in fact, compared to the previous two android products I have, this device seems to lack ALOT of available functions. though I am capable of navigating a recovery menu at boot. but that doesn't do me any good for using pdanet. that seems to be my biggest road block. pdanet wont install because the onl;y way I can allow my device to connect to my pc with adp is using the adp updater in the recovery boot menu.

It is a hidden option that needs to be enabled. Follow this guide: www ninjaromeo com / enable-usb-debugging-developer-options-jelly-bean/
I just enabled this option on my Walmart BF 7" RCA RCT6378W2 tablet.
Sorry I had to mangle the link because XDA wont let me link external sources yet.
Glad I could help a few. Now, someone get on a functional recovery ;p
I have poked around a little at the stock recovery, backing it up, etc.. But am not brave enough to try and get CWM working on it.
I was able to use th Xposed framework for a few mod's no problem. Battery mod, reboot menu, hide navbar, etc.. But Xposed can only do so much.
Edit: I heard on reddit this tool also works for rooting. I have not tested it (already rooted with the other method).

I was not drunk when I made this post...I have the RCT6378W2 if you go to about tablet in your settings and repeatedly tap the build number...the deveolper options will appear...I fell out of my seat when i discovered this.
On a side note...if you repeatedly tap the android version...a cute picture of the android jellybean will appear. Try it.

1: Install drivers. Seeing as RCA does not provide drivers, we had to find some that work. That's where PDANET comes in. Their drivers support a very wide range of Android devices. We are not installing it to tether. We just want the drivers it provides. So download PDANET, install, let it detect your device, install the drivers, and then afterwords you can uninstall it.
2: Enable Developer Options. Settings>About tablet> Tap Build Number a bunch of times till it's enabled.
3: Enable USB Debugging. Options>Developer Options>Click On (up top)>Then checkmark USB Debugging
That should clear up some of the confusion in this thread. How you root after step 3 is up to you. Personally, I did it with Kango. Which was straight forward. Connect device, hit a button, Say yes to a couple questions, reboot, presto done.

Thanks, that sorted things out.
To make clear, and aid in any other inquiries, I managed to find an ADP connection mode, among other android update features. with the device off, hold volume up while turning the device on. it should boot to an image of an android with an open chest panel and the words, "no command". if you push volume up again it will provide you with options and instructions on how to execute. you can manual update the device with an SDK through USB ADP mode this way. I'm not sure if that makes anything simpler or generates a work around but I hope it helps with future development for this device.
Well got root now we need a recovery...
For some reason when trying to make sure I can send adb commands to my tablet, I am showing no devices connected. I check in device manager and it shows up as Android ADB interface for the tablet. These drivers were installed with the latest version of PDANet. Thoughts or how were you all able to get the drivers fully loaded and working? I have developer options already enabled and USB debugging mode is checked.

You need to create "adb_usb.ini" in "Users>Username>.android".
Inside "adb_usb.ini" insert "0x2207" and save.

I had this problem too. make sure you're using the most recent version of pdanet. for whatever reason the older version just hang there and dont work right.
Installed the latest pdanet. It wont install the driver. I checked the device manager and it still shows the device without the driver. not sure what else to try..
Hi Guys,
I had a rooted 4.4.2 device, when I got the the 4.4.3 upgrade and I think that from then I cannot see my device on my laptop.
(I am not sure of that because I CAN see it on my work desktop...)
Anyway, whatever I do - I get the following results:
1. Device manager shows me under the "Portable Devices" the brance F:\
2. When I try to install new ADB drivers, it tells me that "WPD fileSystem volume driver" is the best for me...
Storage usb connection setting is set to be MTP.
Meanwhile, I cannot see my nexus 5 files on my laptop
Please assist, Thanks!!!

Delete the device in device manager and then let it find it again.

If you mean to uninstall it, then I did it couple of times, and now again when the device was disconnected. Then I reconnected the device to the USB port, and scanned the deice manager for changes.
I got the same result - see attachement.
Delete then reboot both devices. Connect phone again. If same, delete device and reboot phone whilst still connected
If that fails, delete and use "universal naked driver"

Never seen that before. Your drivers obviously aren't set up right. Google 15 second adb drivers xda and use that to install the drivers. It'll also set up adb/fastboot which you may or may not need. It gives you the option

Are you trying to use ADB mode? If so, and it's not recognizing the device, try using ADB Driver Installer. It worked for me.

It's supposed to work fine even with it on, at least it did when I had it on. Tested on Win 7, 8, 8.1 and 8.1U1 lol. I never had any issues with USB ever.
Or use Linux, it'll work right away..
It's not set to Camera (PTP) instead of Media Device (MTP) ?

Guys.
Thank you all for your kind help.
I tried at least most of your advises - but there were no joy...
I think that the best I should do now is somehow clean up my system from old drivers and related installations.
So, taking aside the option of reinstalling windows, can you share with me some procedures that will enable me to get rid of all old drivers and files and to reach a state of a clean system, so I can then start reinstalling the drivers again?
Thanks a lot!
Well... here is the solution!!!!
